Mark 14:47-50 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

47. Then one of those standing nearby pulled his sword out. He struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

48. "Am I leading a band of armed men against you?" asked Jesus. "Do you have to come out with swords and clubs to capture me?

49. Every day I was with you. I taught in the temple courtyard, and you didn't arrest me. But the Scriptures must come true."

50. Then everyone left him and ran away.
